Why would Microsoft install Google Chrome? It was installed with

Windows update *did not* install Google Chrome.
Something else did.

I don't think so either, but a window opened right after the updates
were installed that said: "Welcome to Chrome".

It's probably from Dell.

Also, there are two pieces of software. There is
Chrome and there is Chromium (open source version).
Each is a slightly different installation.

I had one other user report something strange like
this, Chromium showing up, and I wasn't aware there
was even a promotional campaign for Chromium. It's
even hard to find a copy when you want one for
test. (The web site for Chromium is a mess, and
suited to dev types.)

One of the hints of a "sneaky" install method,
is when your Programs and Features has no
entry for it. You could try Revo to remove it.
Or, if you locate the setup.exe it uses
(next to a 7Z copy it keeps for reinstall
purposes), the setup.exe command accepts
options to remove it.

if a chromium installation:

setup.exe --uninstall

if a chrome installation:

setup.exe --uninstall --multi-install --chrome --system-level

look for a folder containing at least these two,
for a place to run that command from. You
cd /d /path/to/these/files before running the
setup.exe command.

chrome.7z ~150MB
setup.exe ~ 1MB
